ANOTHER VICTORY.

OUR GREAT SABBATH.

The observance of Memorial Day was
marked by greatly increased interest all
over the country. 1t is every year taking
deeper hold on the minds of our people. 1t
appeals more strongly TO all their higher and
better sentiments than any other day in the
year. 1t has all the solemnity that used to
attach TO Thanksgiving and Christmas, and
more than all the fervid patriotism sf the
old-fashioned Fourth of July. 1t educates
them to higher and better things, more than
either or both Of these days, for it reminds
them constantly how their own fathers,
brothers and kinsmen loved freedom, country
and honor more than life, and all that life
had 10 enjoy, and died for principle rs highly
and holly as ever men died in all the worlds
long history. The dullest, cOarsest and most
selfish men in the community feel this in
some degree, and they are all willing to show
a respect for the day that did not seem pos
sible a few years ago.
1t may be that this manifestation Of re-
spect goes no farther than cessation of their
ordinary business or employment, but this
is much. 1t is tribute to the principles
which men held sacred that is of great value
to the country. Every man and woman is
made better, more devoted, public-spirited
citizen by this.
Memorial Day has now become in reality
the great American Sabbath-the fountain
head from which flows the purest waters Of
patriotism, moral elevation and selfsacriice.
1t is an institution such rs no other land
possesses, and which we firmly believe will
aid beyond all calculations in carrying our
progress and our civilization to higher plane
than that of any other land.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / have read
Lieut.. Russelps letter in which he refers 10 the
positions of the cavalry in the battle of Nash
willie, and claims that Hateh's Fifth Division
was on the extreme right of Thomas's army.
He and all Others who make that claim are
surely much mistaken. Gen. T. w. JOhns0n's Di-
vision-the Sixth-was on the extreme right,
and there were no troops between this division
and the Cumberland River On JOhnson's LETT
was CroxtOn's Brigade. of the First Division, and
the Fifth Division (Gen. Hateh's) filed the
space between Croxton's left and the right Of
Gen. A. j. Smiths infantry. The Seventh
Division Of Calvary, under Gen. Knipe, was
held in reserve the first day. This is my recol-
lection of the matter, and find il accords with

write in opposition to Grover Cleveland's
going to st. Louis do not skulk behind any
signature of "Old Soldier" Veteran" ETC.,
like the writers of the fictitious letters pub

give their full names, with regiment and COM
